More on the Web

With every step Lufkin licensed professional counselor Allen Rush is hoping to raise money for a cause close to his heart.

He's walking 105 miles to Conroe to support the Jack Wolf Foundation and plans to golf at the charity tournament on the final day.

Jack was Rush's great nephew who died when he was only five weeks old from osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease.

"I think when you have the ability to do something you have the responsibility and so this is something I can do and hope that the folks who can support financially will feel like it's a worthwhile cause and maybe help out," Rush said.

Rush decided to do the walk as a soldier of the Texas State Guard.

He's walking on the weekends and plans to make it to Conroe by the end of the month.

Deputies with the Angelina County Sheriff’s Office served a felony arrest warrant on a man after he allegedly tried to sneak a small plastic baggie containing marijuana in to the county jail Wednesday.
